I'm also saying generally if those were the only roles getting thrown his way, the the typecast of Asian immigrant with broken English, that's pretty messed up, and a thing that actually did happen back then to Asian actors. 1) Those WEREN'T the only roles thrown his way, so your remarks are ignorant on top of being racist 2) Putting out exceptions to the general rule is pedantic and silly. While you had highly fluent speakers in other countries, that wasn't the every day reality for immigrants and to pretend that it was only cheapens the immigrant experience and minimizes the difficulties experienced by first-generation immigrants.

I didn't know that what they were doing wasn't actual karate, and that actual japanese people don't all have their houses littered with bonsai trees (nor own a collection of classic cars). <cite>benbeverfaqs posted [p:955337920] in Did you kn...
